Can elastomeric paint be applied on existing elastomeric paint?
Elastomeric paint can be applied to a surface that has been previously painted with elastomeric paint. However, with each subsequent layer of the paint, the elasticity of the treatment breaks down considerably.
Is elastomeric paint paintable?
Elastomeric paint is paintable with the proper surface preparation. Failing to prepare the surface can cause the paint to fail.
What paint can you use to paint a rubber membrane?
any elastomeric coating
Can you paint over Gluvit with elastomeric paint?
Yes, abrade the surface so that the primer has a profile to adhere to, then prime with a high adhesion primer, followed by a 10 mil coat of the elastomeric, then a second 10 mil coat of elastomeric.
Will elastomeric paint last on T11 siding?
If the surface is properly prepared, elastomeric coatings make an excellent coating for t-111.
Is elastomeric paint suitable for wood siding on a residential home application?
Yes. the key is in the prep work.
How do you prep wood for elastomeric paint?
Use a good quality primer that is intended for all paints or for oil based paints. You might want to use a tintable primer (Killz for example), and have it tinted to approximate your final paint color. That gives much better chances of painting in one coat.
How many square feet does a gallon of paint cover?
That would depend on the type of paint you want to use. Usually, the area coverage will be written on the label of the paint can. Approx. 400 sq feet is the coverage on a smooth surface using regular house paint, however, an elastomeric paint would only go approx 80 sq ft per gallon.
How many sq ft will a gallon of paint cover?
It depends on the kind of paint it can veri from 39 ft to 50 ft if used right Improved Answer: Even a high build elastomeric paint goes 80 square feet a gallon. A standard gallon of paint has a theoretical coverage rate of 400 sq ft. However, this amount will be reduced on a porous or textured surface as much as half.
Will elastromeric paint work on cement floor?
What you should look into is an Elastomeric paint or an Epoxy floor coating. an Elastomeric Coating on a cement floor would be more effective in light traffic walk way areas (around a pool). This product has a very low sheen and dries some what rubbery and can aid in the non-slip factor. Where as an Epoxy Coating would be more effective under heavy traffic or weight (in the Garage). This product dries extremely Hard with a very high gloss finish and is very slippery when wet with out aid from sand/texture These types of coatings can be applied to any horizontal or vertical surface. Check the product label for recommendations as for use on floors. Not all products are suitable to be walked on.
Is there a formula to figure dry paint mil thickness if you have the percent solids of the paint?
It depends on the application process and what are you painting. Mils can vary based on how you apply the paint and with what applicator. It is not based on the solids percentage. This may create a variable that cannot be included in a fixed formula. To measure paint that is already dry you can use a mil gauge. For more info on applying paint go to the appended website. (Added) That's correct when you have only the percentage solids by weight, however when you apply the paint correctly, at the wet mil thickness specified by the manufacturer, you can figure the dry mil thickness by multiplying the wet mil thickness (often 4 mils for ordinary house paint) and the percent solids by volume of the paint. To measure the wet paint thickness, which you should do while applying to ensure that it is being applied at the correct thickness, use a wet mil gauge. For example, 4 mils with a paint that is 25% solids by volume will dry down to 1 mil thickness. A high build elastomeric coating applied at 10 mils at the same 25% solids will dry down to 2.5 mils.
